Another Dave Cockrum story:

Dave and I did a couple of Blackhawk stories together. I thought he did a fine job but Dave was never satisfied with anything he'd done. We were at some San Diego Con, coming back from lunch when an attendee pounced upon us — and "pounced" isn't a bad way to describe what this guy did. "I've been waiting to get you both to sign this," he exclaimed, thrusting an issue at us. I scribbled my name but Dave took a few minutes with his inscription. He signed the first page of the story and then he flipped to page four or five and drew something in the margin. I couldn't see exactly what it was but it looked like a hand. As we walked off, I asked him what it was he'd drawn.

He said, "I decided I drew Blackhawk's hand wrong in that panel so every time I sign a copy, I draw it right in the margin. I've done that about thirteen times now."

I said, "You can't fix 'em all, Dave. They printed 150,000 copies of that issue."

Dave grinned through that beard of his and said, "Okay, so I've got 149,987 to go." How do you not like a guy like that?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Some more Cockrum stuff, this time about his work on LoSH. One thing I never knew about was that Nightcrawler was originally developed for the Legion.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Four preview images from the "Season Eight" Buffy comic.

Not much there, but the feel seems right. Also, I'm vastly amused that, four pages in, he's already Jossed a thumping majority of the post-S7 fic out there.

Heh, that's pretty funny.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Hee! That retcon is absolutely hilarious and awesome.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Brilliant retcon! I'm starting to really look forward to this.

Also, Firefly cast are the greatest people in the WORLD.
